Steps:
1. Get DNA sample
2. Amplify with PCR
3. Cut with restriction enzyme
4. Run resulting fragments on gel electrophoresis
5. Analyze result
A sample with the
shorter DNA
fragments travels
through the gel faster
than a sample with
the larger fragments

DNA fingerprinting
DNA analysis can be used for catching criminals, establishing parentage, finding how closely organisms are related and many other applications.
The pattern of bands in a gel electrophoresis is known as a genetic fingerprint or a ‘genetic profile’
If a genetic fingerprint found in a sample of blood or other tissue at the scene of a crime matches the genetic fingerprint of a suspect, this can be used as evidence
A DNA sample can be obtained from the suspect using blood, cheek epithelial cells taken from the mouth lining or even the cells clinging to the root of a hair

He was arrested in
1986 for the rape
and murder of two
girls and was
sentenced in 1988.

Recombinant DNA Technology
Constructing new combinations of unrelated
genes (ex. protein expression)
New combinations can be cloned by suitable
hosts
Covalent insertion of a DNA fragment from one
type of cell or organism into the replicating DNA
of another type of cell
Takes advantage of restriction enzymes and
DNA ligases
DNA ligase – catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bond at a break in a DNA chain.

BASIC STEPS:
1. Selection of carrier
(ex. plasmid)
2. Cleaving the DNA
strand of the carrier
3. Insert DNA of
interest into the
carrier (creating
recombinant or
hybrid DNA)
4. Introduce hybrid
DNA to host cell
(transformation)
5. Screening of host
cells
